Another TV throw in seasonal pumpkin colours. Well, supposed to be. What I had in my stash, anyway.... The eyelash yarn border could be redolent of cobwebs? Maybe? 🤔 🕷️ 🕷️🕷️. 😲

Have finished my 2nd Crochet Octopus. Will get them both sent off to the Charity at the end of the week. Will start another one later in the week I think. Am loving making them. x

Got a cough. Ruins my 😴 sleep. Not up to much, so made these. Russian doll pincushion, ( bit rough, but I'm not a well girl) and wee duck tapestry, still to be framed or carded up.

Think I'm a bit brain dead just now so took it easy with a TV crochet. Used up remnants of navy, blue, white, purples ( the light purple was called Wisteria) and finished with a border of blue eyelash. At least I didn't totally waste my time! 😊

Finished my Christmas teddy and named her holly , she needs to find a home now

It has been lying unfinished since the Jurassic Age! Well, nearly... From when I did the cushions, from the same kit, which was a while ago now. Like the snowman I made before, I should have lined it with fleece or something for a smoother finish. I added a nostril because it actually didn't have on

Molly wanted to do some flower bashing (also known as flower pounding or Tataki Zome) for her school textiles project.  So we had some fun bashing the flowers onto fabric to get the natural dyes out.  Its quite addictive and results are lovely. All you need are fresh flowers/petals/leaves, a hammer 

I’ve nearly finished the summer challenge garden quilt.  Just the label and a good iron to go then it’s finished, so excuse the creases.  I have to say its really soft.

So I joined one of their CAL groups
